Thanks for your reponse, but I don't thing it's my case. In fact, I've 
installed everything on a "almost-embedded" system, where I don´t have 
PCI slots to change.
Does anybody have any other idea? I have also realized that when system 
hangs I can´t neither access through ssh. I suposse it's something 
related to X and/or Mythserver configuration, but I'm a little lost.....
Thanks a lot (and thanks Ozzy again)
